Explore+Digital+Resources

Objective:

I will be able to guide teachers in selecting digital resources for a particular unit of study.

Since most of us have not taught in a digitial environment, let's take some time to explore potential resources so that we may get a deeper understanding of what's available.

Select a specific unit of study from any content area. Select a TEKS that would appear in that unit. @http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148 Write an I can statement in student language.

Look for digitial resources that could be incorporated into a lesson that would help student realize the I can statement. Consider photos, video, virtual fieldtrips, etc.
